Abstract

Implantable devices are being used for long term healthcare and human body physiological monitoring of specific parameters. PDMS (poly-dimethyl-siloxane) can be used either for sensor or for packaging of the same sensor in many applications, notably in laparoscopy and laparotomy as feeler pin in order to help surgeons to touch specific tissues and to get a response based on the nature of the touched tissue (softness). The need of calibrated pressure on a tissue arises when we are in presence particular pathologies or impairments as: cancer issues, high risk of aneurism for aorta and brain, probable haemorrhage in touching capillaries, and so forth. This paper presents a packaging modelling of a build nanosensor to be used in a human body for surgery exploration as laparoscopy and laparotomy. A nanosensor is first build for common application and adapted for implantable applications, and a packaging is studied. The designed sensor is implemented by considering PDMS as polymeric material
